The Love That Passed 79- End
Jared's POV "She's still not in good condition. I didn't want to give you false hope and I want you to be ready for anything, anytime." Dr. Gerard said," I was shocked when I saw Colleen looking at me. She wasn't sad or mad or angry. Even if she couldn't smile because of the tube that was in her mouth, I could still see that she was because of her eyes. She must have been listening to me and baby Corrine, that's why. "But, she's already awake, can't we do the surgery already?" I asked. "She's already weak and her body will not be able to make it." Dr. Gerard answered, "She wakes up, yes. But it doesn't necessarily mean that she's fine. The surgery will take a toll on her body and it may shorten her life. There's a possibility that she may, you know, be on the operating table," he added. I felt so helpless and looked at Colleen who was now sleeping. When I saw her eyes open, I called Dr. Gerard immediately and, thankfully, Mommy Lucy came back so I handed her over, our daughter. She

Jared's POV I know my wife's condition but my mind and heart didn't want to accept it. I still give myself hope and no matter how little it was, I will still hold on to it. I am never going to give up on my wife and let the best thing happen to me slip out of my hands. Yes, she's the best thing that ever happened to me. And every day that I see her lying on her hospital bed is killing me. All this time, she was all in my mind and I felt guilty when I saw our daughter. I have neglected her without knowing it and the pain that engulfed me after realizing that was unbearable. When she held my thumb, I felt something. That must be what Colleen felt when she found out that she was pregnant. That's why she didn't agree to an abortion. "My wife, are you not yet tired of sleeping for so long?" I asked her as I wiped her clean. Mommy Lucy wanted to do this for her but I didn't let her. I want to take care of my wife so she will love me even more when she finds out after she wakes up that I

Third Person's POV Jared was looking at his wife, who was still lying on the hospital bed unconscious. He had been doing that for three weeks after he woke up and more than a month since Colleen was in a coma. Every day his heart breaks as he sees him almost lifeless. He misses her smile, her voice, and her love. He tried to be stronger than the other day and give himself hope that she would wake up soon. After he woke up that day and had calmed himself, Ingrid told him about what had happened after he got shot. *** Flashback *** "Gen. Anderson's man called the ambulance and brought you here." Ingrid said, "You were out and getting colder and I thought we were going to lose you. It was a good thing that the bullet missed your heart." she added, "I bumped into a man before I got shot, maybe that's the reason," he said. "Yeah, the man was so frantic. He was shocked that he thought he had been shot as well." Ingrid replied, "As I brought you to the hospital, the man who was supposed

Third Person's POV "Colleeeeeenn..." Jared shouted, which made Ingrid and Claire rush to him, crying. "Jared... huhuhu...." Claire said, "You're finally awake," she added. He looked at them and said, "Colleen? Where's my wife?" he asked in a hurry and started to roam his eyes around and landed on the bed next to him. His eyes watered when he saw Colleen with a tube in her mouth. He tried to get up but Ingrid and Claire tried to stop him but he didn't. Instead, he went to Colleen's bed and looked at her, "What happened? Why is she like this?" he asked and his tears started to run down his face. "My wife," he called her in a hoarse voice. "My wife, I am here, come on, wake up now," he added. Ingrid couldn't help it anymore so she decided to call her doctor instead. She didn't want to see Jared in that state and she knew that he would be broke when he found out about his wife's condition. He tried to wake up Colleen repeatedly but she didn't make a move. Lucy and Betty came in and w

Jared's POV I'm so thankful that Colleen has been admitted to the hospital. In that way, I can act more relaxed so that I don't have to think that she might suspect the reason why I leave every day. I know these past few days she's been thinking about something and I don't want her to do that. I often find her deep in thought, which is why I can't help but worry about her. I need to leave the house every day regularly to let Derrick know that I am often away from home and go to the office so that his attention will be diverted to me in case he thinks of retaliating against me through Colleen. I don't want her to be hurt anymore because our time together was limited and I might not be able to stop myself from killing Derrick if he ever decided to hurt my wife and daughter. Stacey informed me about Derrick's plan. So even though I was angry at her, I set that aside because of the information she was giving me. But it doesn't mean that I have already forgiven her for what she did to my

Colleens POV I had to stay in the hospital since my scheduled CS is a week from now. The first time Jared told me about it, I was relieved. I knew my body well and I was already having difficulties. As much as possible, I didn't want to stay in the hospital. But, I am not going to risk my baby's health with my fear. Sometimes Jared left the house telling me that he would just check in the office or just buy something. Although I believe him, there's still doubt in me that he was doing something he didn't want to let me know. And that worries me. What if he was doing something dangerous? I don't think I will be able to take it if something happens to him. He and our baby are my source of strength now and knowing he was hurt will hurt me the most. Like now, he said Ingrid had asked him to check on the financial report from last month, so he left early that morning. It was almost noon and he had not called me yet. I wanted to do it but thinking he was busy, I was afraid that I might d

Jared's POV Colleen is getting weaker as the days go by, her pregnancy is taking a toll on her body and I am sure that she is having difficulty carrying our baby. Sometimes I wanted to yell or shout at her for being so stubborn and chose to have our baby in her condition. I love our baby so much. Even if she was not yet in this world, she already had a space in my heart. But she's hurting Colleen without her knowing and I can't do anything about it. Sometimes I regret the fact that I made love to her. If that never happened, she should have undergone her surgery already and would probably be recuperating by now. There's no point regretting it now, yes. But I couldn't help it when I saw her looking like how she was. I love her so much that I always think about how I am going to survive life without her. I started to feel scared, thinking she might not make it through her operation. It's normal for me to feel this way, right? But all I can do is keep it to myself so she won't worry

Colleen's POV I didn't notice that I had overslept and I looked for Jared the moment I woke up. I asked Mom where he was and he told me that he was still in his study room, so I went up. I didn't come up here because the stairs were high, but because I wanted to see my husband, I would do it. I knocked before I got in and found him in deep thought. I can tell because of the way he sighed, does he have a problem? I made him notice me and he looked at me. He smiled and, oh, he was so handsome. I don't think I am worthy of him if I am going to look at myself. I am so thin and pregnant, I'm sure you can't imagine how I look too. I asked him whether we had a problem while I got closer to him. He said it was just about his sister agreeing to manage the company even after I gave birth. He made sure that it was nothing after I asked her again and he had me sit on his lap. I love to be sitting on him, but the way I weigh now, makes me feel conscious. He hugged me and, of course, I did the sa

Jared's POV After I talked to Mom, I went home and found Colleen still sleeping. I was thankful because she wouldn't be asking me about the reason for my visit to Mom and I didn't have to lie to her. As much as possible, I want to say everything to her and I feel guilty when I am hiding something from her just like now. It was for her own good. Still, I am not comfortable. That's why I let everyone at home know so they could help me protect her. I went back to my study room and started to polish my plan. I knew that this was going to be very dangerous but it was the only thing I knew to trap Derrick. I didn't want anything to happen to anyone in my family, especially Colleen. And Derrick threatening me is making me feel paranoid all the time. I was already like that because of Colleen's condition. Her illness is like a ticking time bomb that could take her any time. Every day, I pray to God to give us more time to be together. Not for me but for the goodness of Colleen's heart, she

Colleen "Hubby, can you lend me some money?" I asked my husband, Jared, my voice filled with uncertainty. His gaze bore into me with a mixture of anger and frustration. "Why would I give you money? Do you think just because I agreed to marry you, I will give you what you want just like that?" he retorted, his words laced with resentment. That moment had taken place two years ago, not long after we had gotten married. At that time, I was battling a severe illness, and my doctor had just delivered the news that a compatible heart was available for me. The prospect of extending my life through surgery had filled me with hope, but there was a significant hurdle: the cost. So, I turned to my husband, desperately seeking his support. However, he met my plea with stubborn silence, his resentment unabated. I understood his anger all too well. Our marriage had been orchestrated by his mother and sister, leaving him with no choice but to marry me against his will. He didn't love me; he loved
